Dermaplaning in Our McLean, VA Office

Dermaplaning is a chemical-free method of exfoliation using a scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dull, dead skin cells, removing peach-fuzz in the process.  As our skin cell turnover slows with the aging process, dead  skin cells accumulate on the surface and make our skin look lifeless and dull and even more wrinkly. Removing these old cells (plus the peach fuzz) leaves the skin ultra-smooth, fresh and glowing. Plus, removing this top layer of dead skin primes the skin for receiving active products like retinol, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C since there’s nothing extra blocking their penetration.  And it makes cosmetics apply like a dream!

Dermaplaning is a great choice for those with sensitive skin that can’t tolerate chemical peels, for pregnant or nursing women, or for those who don’t want the peeling skin that accompanies chemical peels!  There’s no downtime with this procedure and it provides instant gratification!

PS Don’t worry about the baby hair growing back thicker or darker.  This is a myth!
